Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0042816A1] A gauge tip (40) for fitting in-the-canal hearing device tips is formed to fit on an existing otoscope (30) and includes on its distal end (42) a fastening device to enable variously sized hearing device tips (50) to be attached. The otoscope assembly, including the gauge tip (40) and hearing device tip (50), is inserted into a person's ear canal and the physician or audiologist can make an assessment as to the proper fit of the hearing device tip. Larger or smaller hearing device tips or complete gauge tips can be readily interchanged until a proper fit is achieved.
